Mastodon back in the Ulster Hall

American heavy metal outfit Mastodon have announced a number of shows including a return to Belfast at the Ulster Hall on Sunday, June 28.

One of the more notable New Wave of American Heavy Metal acts, a genre spawned in the mid-’90s by bands like Pantera, Biohazard and Machine Head, Mastodon’s innovative, lyrically astute blend of progressive metal, grindcore, and hardcore helped position the band as one of the preeminent metal acts of the early 21st century.

The new album landed in at number six on The Billboard 200 chart making it the bands first consecutive top 10 debut.
